Money line
HAPPEN.
Minnesota is the much better team and fighting for a playoff spot, so the Twins will get the win and come in as -250 favorites here. However, that odds are way too high to bet on, so bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Running Line/Against the Spread
BET MARLINS +1.5 (-110).
Miami has played very well against Minnesota in recent seasons, going 5-5 in their last 10 meetings. They won last year’s games by scores of 5-2 and 1-0, but lost 11-1.
The Twins are also very bad this season at 71-85 ATS. But be aware that betting on a weaker team to cover ATS is always a risk.
Over/Under
BET OVER 8 (-115).
The over has scored in back-to-back games for Minnesota and is 5-0 in their last 5 home games. For the Marlins, the over is also 6-3-1 in their last 10 games overall. The over has also scored in each of the last 3 games between these teams in Minnesota and is 3-1-1 in their last 5 games overall.
Note that Miami’s record in their last 10 games is 5-3-2.
